Valerie's eyes watched the ground underneath them as they got closer to the abandoned church, on each side of the road, water surrounded them.

„We're here." John B said, turning off the car after parking behind Kiara. They all got out of the car and headed to the entrance. The entire church was made out of wood, and it was pretty old. Like very old..

The door shrieked as JJ opened it, immediately Valerie's eyes scanned the inside. Vines grew over the walls, which were dirty and covered in holes.

„So your telling me Denmark Tanny decided to hide a cross in here?" JJ asked, earning back a nod from pope.

„..just spread out." Kie spoke frustrated.

„Okay, well, if I was a cross and wanted to be hidden in an old church, where would I hide." John B said while everyone began to look.

„That's exactly why god made you into a human, because if you were a cross there would be no chance in hell someone couldn't have spotted you." Valerie scrunched her face.

„Okay, first of all, rude." John B replied.

„Are you sure that Denmark hid the cross here, Pope?" JJ looked at him, questioning if he should even begin to look, or if it would just be a waste of time. „Like- are we at the right church?"

„It's gotta be here somewhere guys."

„What if we have to push a secret button." JJ walked over to the old piano that sat in the corner, Valerie soon joining him. „Or like, play a, a certain cord, and then all of a sudden, the ground beneath us reveals the catacombs or something which we stand." JJ finished his sentence, getting a chuckle out of Valerie, who wasn't sure if he was just messing around or actually debating if that was a possibility.

„How about we just try to find obvious clues?" John B looked around.

„It's not an escape room." Kiara said.

„It's gotta be in here." Pope yelled, angry with how much time they have already spent, trying to look for the cross.

„Sorry." JJ whispered.

Valerie smiled placing an arm on his shoulder. „For what? You have the best humour." Valerie whispered back to him. He chuckled while a smile speared on his face. Don't get them wrong, there wasn't any chemistry between them, they were like siblings, I think..

„Look, I can't see where they would hide a giant cross in here."

„No, no. There's no way he would set us up on a freaking goose chase, what would lead us to a church that has nothing in it!" Pope paced around the room, his face in fury.
